"As a psychotherapist, I have been actively involved with domestic
violence coalitions and treatment agencies. Anger-management
treatment programs based on this Mind-Body Workbook for Anger
dramatically reduce dropout rates and recidivism in comparison with
conventional treatment methods. In fact, with the favorable results
of a large randomized control trial awaiting publication, mind-body
bridging is en route to becoming the first evidenced-based
treatment and best practice for domestic violence offenders."
--Isaac Phillips, MSW, LCSW, executive director of Equinox
Counseling Services; co-chair of the Salt Lake Area Domestic
Violence Coalition; and member of the Utah Council for Domestic
Violence Perpetrator Treatment
"Research I conducted with domestic violence offenders using
mind-body bridging as an intervention found the offenders
experienced less stress; gained greater access to problem-solving
abilities; and improved their relationships with partners,
children, and co-workers. The mind-body bridging approach helped
these at-risk individuals avoid reoffending largely by sharpening
ability to recognize internal triggers. In my experience, the
mind-body bridging techniques used in the Mind-Body Workbook for
Anger are successful because they are practical, straightforward,
and allow individuals to see results immediately."
--Elisa Audo, PhD, author The Experience of Mind-Body Bridging as a
Treatment for Offenders of Domestic Violence, doctoral
dissertation, California Institute of Integral Studies, 2012, San

"Stan and Carolyn have done it again. Mind-Body Workbook for Anger
is a user-friendly, easy-to-apply solution to the problem of anger
management. In my long career in treating domestic violence
offenders, no other method or technique can compare with it. This
book should be on top of the list for both therapists and
clients."
--Jules Shuzen Harris, EdD, author of Anger: It Has Something to
Teach Us: Can We Listen
"This mind-body workbook for anger sets the standard for the
treatment the entire spectrum of anger management issues, including
court mandated treatment for domestic violence offenders. Mind-body
bridging is a set of powerful techniques that will help one to rest
the system in one's brain (the I-System) that is responsible for
unmanaged anger. I have been in practice twenty years and have
found that the tools in this workbook are far superior, better
accepted, and more quickly effective than any that I have used with
court-ordered domestic violence offenders. Long-term follow-up of
recidivism showed rates of only eight percent. Further, I have used
and continue to use mind-body bridging in my own life with
transformational results."
